FRANCES MOBILIZATION.
The Showing Made by the Army Not at
All Discreditable

PARIS, Sept 9.--The mobilization expert
ment necessitated the raising of the Seven
teenth Army Corps from 10000 to &c, 759
men, fully clothed, armed and equipped.
The members of the reserve are of fine
physique. The cavalry have good pace,
but the men lack firm seat, many having
been thrown The officers were somewhat
bothered in handling larger bodies Of men
than they were accustomed TO. The artil-
lery movements were sluggish. Altogether
however, the experiment inspires confidence
in the army the Seventeenth corps not being
regarded as the best. At the conclusion OF
the sham fight to-day Gen. Ferron conferred
upon Gen Clement the decoration OF Com

main building OF Barnum & BGiley's
greatest show on earth" WAS entirely
destroyed by fire last night. The alarm
was sounded about 1920 O'Clock and was
quickly followed by Il general alarm.
Thousands OF people were drawn TO the
spot and In less than 30 minutes the
big building, which was six hundred
by two hundred feet and two
stories in height, WAS entirely con-
sumed. The first intimatiOn Of the fire
was given by the roaring of the lions
and tigers, which seemed to realize i'm
pending danger. Next, the elephants
struggled In their chains but In an In
credtbly short time the flames swept
from one end of the huge structure to
the other There were six watchmen
employed on the premises, but they
were helpless to check its flames. One of
the men was in the horse building
when his lantern exploded igniting hay
and straw. Eve OF the watchmen have
reported but one Is missing. The upper
portion ofthe buildngwas filled with hay
and all the parsphernalia OF the great
show. Before the first alarm had ceased
sounding, the whole building was
enveloped and no one dared TO approach
1t, being fearful OF the craZed animals.
Three elephants were burned up and
sc broke from their fastenIngs and
dashed through the sides of the burning
building. Their rOars, and trumpeting
and sounds of torment were terrific. Six
elephants and large African hippOpO-
tamus rushed about the streets present
ing a sickening appearance. Their sides
were burned and great pieces OF flesh, a
foot square, fell out. Thirty elephants
and one large lion made their escape,
and have started off across the
country toward Fairfield and
Easton. Great alarm has seized
upon many residents of the west end
and they have taken refuge within their
houses, with their windows barred. VIM.
Newman, elephant trainer, Is out OF
town, and the keepers were not able to
attempt to herd the animals. In the
horse room were Gil the ring animals,
trained stations, ponies, tents, etc.
These were all burned. The tents Of the
entire circus were also destroyed. ln
the cat room we're the birds, monkeys,
three rhinocerOses, hyenas, tigers, lions,
and all the menagerie, which fell prey
to the flames. So rapidly did the
flames leap across the main building
that the tiremen made no effort to save
but turned three streams upon the
chariot buildings and Car sheds which
they succeeded in saving, but the heat
was so intense that this wac accom-
plished with the greatest difficulty.
Total losses are estimated at seven
hundred thousand upon which
which there Is one hundred thousand
insurance. Before the building went
down Bsrnum's agents were busy max
ing arrangements for obtaining new
lot of attractions to supply the loss.
MIR. BrOthwell, Barnum's Bridgeport

would be rebuilt, but not in Bridgeport.

More Bean Excitement.

kilograms from BOnham announce
that there was some excitement there Oh
Saturday when it was announced that
will Of the late Thomas &. Bean had
been found, giving One-half his fortune
to his wife, Nancy Gee, and directing
that the other half be divided as follows:
One-fifth to each Of the churches of Fan
min county; to his old slaves; to the poor
children of Fannin county for educa-
tiOnal purposes, and to q. NJ. Smith
and Robert Taylor for their services as
executors.
The will is dated August 18th, 1857,
but It Ia not thought to be authentic.
This is the estate in which Postmaster
Howard and his family are interested,
and strange to say, the Howard that
married his sister was named Nancy.
Since the above was written it trans
pires that the will has been carefully
examined and is pronounced to be q
clumsy forgery, ana is believed to be the
work Of a lunatic or practical joker
There is no question but that the court,
which meets on the 2Sth inst. will arrive
at the same conclusion.
